Be that as it may, China has already risen to the the 2nd military spender in the world, and its difference w/ the 1st (the US) is less than it looks if one considers the fact that everything is cheaper in China (or Russia, where it buys everything military it can't make yet).
While the US is still hypocritical to criticize anyone for its military buildup, from the viewpoint of nearly any other nation in the world, China's rise is astoundingly fast, and quite worryingly offensive.
I guess this was how people felt when the Soviet Navy underwent its buildup, and in many ways the Soviet Armed Forces was actually more defensive than the PLA seems to be striving to be.
